Question

A park is 9/10 miles long and 4/5 mile wide what is the area of the park in square miles

Answer 1

EXPLANATIONEXPLNATION OF SOLUTION

The park is a rectangle and the area of a rectangle is given as

`\begin{gathered} A\text{rea}=L* B \\ \end{gathered}`

Where L=lenght of the park in miles and B=Width of the park in miles

`\begin{gathered} L=(9)/(10),B=(4)/(5) \\ \text{Area}=(9)/(10)*(4)/(5) \\ \end{gathered}`

Then

`\text{Area}=(9)/(5)*(2)/(5)=(18)/(25)`

Therefore the area of the park is 18/25 square miles
